Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors has been fined $25,000 for allegedly cursing at a fan Tuesday night in Dallas.

Green was caught on video saying, “Enjoy the fucking game, shut up,” apparently addressing a court-side fan.

Green received a fine for “directing obscene language toward a fan,” according to a statement released Thursday by the NBA.

This incident is another example of why Green is a poor excuse for a professional. He allegedly knocked out his teammate, Jordan Poole, during a practice session in October before the season got underway.

Green gave the double-middle-finger salute to the Memphis Grizzlies crowd on his way to the locker room during the playoffs in May, video footage shows. “It felt really good to flip [the Grizzlies’ fans] off,” he said afterwards, since the crowd had purportedly been heckling him.

Green’s behavior is reprehensible. These immature incidents are beginning to pile up for the four-time NBA champion. I can’t imagine anyone outside of the Warriors fan base being a fan of him.
